Student Stories
The workshop was more than I expected. Roel and the people in the class made this experience 100%. From the first class Roel made sure everyone had all materials and had a plan. I worked on Air Jordan 1 High which was a personal challenge because it was my first time making sneakers. I’m planning to take a second class next year. Thanks Roel and the people in the class for the good times
